What makes 'Bye Bye Man based on true story' so scary?

Answer 1

The fact that it's based on a true story gives it an extra layer of scariness. People tend to be more frightened by things that could potentially be real. Even if the exact details of the true story are not fully known, just the idea that there might be some truth behind the Bye Bye Man makes it scarier.

Answer 2

Well, since 'Bye Bye Man' is based on a true story, it taps into our primal fear of the unknown. We don't know exactly what in the real events inspired it, but our imagination runs wild. It also plays on the idea that there could be malevolent forces out there that we can't see or fully understand, just like in the real - life events that supposedly led to the story. This makes it very scary.
